For 1 point identify this car, who built it and when?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

You know the car.
But according to my info it's a different Jaguar model and slightly different date (which may or may not be more accurate..)

Locked for you to come up with the same model I have.

No, I'll give you the point as information on this car is so sparse.
I had it as a MkVII but I have no proof that that's what it is, so it could equally be an XK140!
Perhaps some Jaguar expert can add more information?

The bonnet and the grille don't look XK140, Mk V or 3.4 litre (better known as a Mk 1) which are the other candidates so I would think it must be Mk VII based - remember that the Mk VII was also a 3.4 litre car.

Amazingly this popped up in the background to the 1957 film "Schön ist die Welt" which somebody has just added to IMCDB (and of course nobody knew what it was  ;) )

Blimey!
Maybe it belonged to the producer or director or one of the stars?
It can't just have been chance!
